ENGLISH translation: Hi. I’m Famke from Ghent in Belgium. I think everyone has the right to move freely and to travel. But what I find strange, is that it’s often more expensive to travel on an ecological way, especially when you take the train. The plane is often cheaper. I would want the government to invest more in public transport, like trains. And also invest in free public transport in the cities because we have enough mobility problems.
This is on the back of big private companies, like airplane companies, who always find ways to make huge profits by individualise and privatise everything. So I want: free public transport!
